I had German lessons in grades 5 and 6. Don't know why because our teacher always let us know she was Italian. To her it was a challenge to see how many extra things we could comprehend. Best teacher I ever had. No falling asleep in her class.

My lips are sealed because I did not know that the basket was a gift. Had I known, who knows what I might have said? By the way "in German, "Gift" means poison. And did you know that in German one capitalizes all nouns? I like that consistency. This has been a lesson in non-sequiters.
